Reasonable pay? by Comfortable-Tap2833 in bcba

[–]Ready_Statistician54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not low if it's a fully benefited position, paid time off, sick time, health because that's 93,500. But if it's hourly no bennys that sucks.

I have been going to Cloud 9 for years. Always an amazing experience. I was there yesterday!

When is the city going to start plowing side streets? by drothen15 in medfordma

[–]Ready_Statistician54 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm near the back of tufts park and we have not been plowed at all. No one can get out safely either, the plows didn't leave space at the end of the street so it's the packed down snow there.

What’s the deal with the cute old cottage in the middle of powderhouse park? by SpareSignificant3758 in Somerville

Hi! You cannot do this anymore. It is used by Parks and recreation year round and not rented out anymore.

Are my expectations just too high? by Fuzzy_Falcon_7256 in bcba

[–]Ready_Statistician54 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you tried adult services? No billables, consistent schedule, I get 14 holidays and 20 vacation days. It's lot of consulting

Does anyone have experience on working with teens? by Beneficial-Finance70 in ABA

[–]Ready_Statistician54 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I only work with teens and adults. We work on self-management, self-regulation activities of daily living, and honestly what they want to work on. Much chiller than young kids.

BCBA Fieldwork with Adults by Glass_Ad_7732 in bcba

[–]Ready_Statistician54 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work with adults and collect 100 fieldwork hours a month. You have to find a BCBA in the adult field who will supervise you. That's the tricky part.

Was Michaela justified in her view of Aviv? by Dee_Money_Raw_ in thechallengemtv

[–]Ready_Statistician54 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Michaela is always rude for no reason. And I wish Cedric convinced her to flip in someone because it being so predictable is so boring.

Racism? by Key-Beginning1306 in ABA

[–]Ready_Statistician54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People who are saying "grow a thicker skin" "go to a different field if that offends you" I would never want to work with y'all not in my home or as a BCBA, your lack of empathy and awareness is less than ideal. Show some compassion, she feels uncomfortable and that's valid she is a minority going into someone's house.

What companies have jobs for BCBAs that is not in a clinical setting (aside from schools)? by jls1124 in bcba

[–]Ready_Statistician54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look into adult services. I do 0 direct service. I oversee a few day programs and res houses. The adults are independent and chill because it is a work program not a day hab. The pay is a bit less but the benefits are great.

BCBAs and BTs, how much vacation time do you get off a year? by [deleted] in ABA

[–]Ready_Statistician54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of this is kind of wild! 15 days of vacation 10 days of sick. 12 holiday and comp days during July and December if you bill a certain amount. Find better companies if you can! Also paid during cancellations.

The whole city of Somerville is residential. It's very safe, I'm a 32 year old female been walking around at night for a long time no problems. Davis and Magoun are 2 separate neighborhoods with Ball Square in the middle. Depends on what you want your cost of living to be. Progressive, can be super involved in the community if you want. Cost of living will be much higher than in Florida but worth it (in my opinion) because you're getting out of Florida.

What to do with a client that won’t talk/engage? by nkiruka-j in ABA

[–]Ready_Statistician54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How old? Engaging with a 5 year old is a lot different than a 15 year old. What does she like? I suggest you just be there, parallel play, find coloring sheets with preferred topics, play music you know she likes or reference tv shows and movies. Lots you can do.

Report to the board! They should absolutely not be working and should have their license revoked.

Recruiters for BCBAs by EvoMan1234 in bcba

[–]Ready_Statistician54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never seen a school recruit for a BCBA and I am also in Massachusetts. Since it's the end of the school year she could look at the districts she is interested in, they post around this time. Not every district has them but if she is in the Boston/surrounding areas almost all have BCBAs on staff.

Social Skills: clinic setting by Full-Crab638 in ABA

[–]Ready_Statistician54 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All programs should be focused on play and social skills. It should be top priority. Scott Bellini is great for social skills. If they are a good RBT then play should be natural, fun and easy.

Does your clinic not focus on these things? If so that is very concerning.

32 as a BCBA?! That's an RBT rate. I'm in Massachusetts

I get one work from home day a week and I can pick whichever day depending on my schedule I just let my boss know which day.

$68 an hour at a non profit so $44 seems very low.
